We’re still dreaming about the pierogies… 🤤 And the honey balls. And the tacos. And the hand pies.

There’s a reason Carrousel of the Nations keeps earning the love! A HUGE congrats to the Multicultural Council of Windsor-Essex and everyone behind Carrousel for being named the TOP Festival & Event in Ontario for the FOURTH year in a row!

Carrousel may be over for another year, but the fun in Windsor Essex definitely isn’t. See what’s coming up next with our Late Summer & Fall Event Guide at https://bit.ly/3Uk3cLX

Missed out on Carrousel this year? Plan ahead for next June when it returns. From incredible food to music, dance and traditions from around the world, Carrousel is a celebration of the cultures and communities that make Windsor Essex such an amazing place to explore.
